939 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9001534.045432 -118.264229
Neighborhoods: Central LA, Downtown, South Park
One of my favorite LA boutique hotels with a cozy Moroccan inspired pool complete with pool boys that match the decor!
Ambience. – Have to say I am impressed with the originality of flavor here. I recommend to my out-of-town folks all the time.
The best hidden GEM in Los Angeles – Im hesitant to even write about the Hotel Fig- I guard it like a precious secret! It is truly the best hotel in Los Angeles! If you want to rekindle some romance with your partner- this is the place! The Casablanca suite (prices are SO affordable!) has a bathtub large enough for two people to swim in! The owner Uno- is a wonderful man, whom I have great respect for! He loves this building and cares for it! Each room is different and has it's own individual style- very moroccan themed! Uno is very discerning about who he lets stay at the Hotel Fig! What owner does this anymore? He wants to make sure every guest has a magical experience! The pool/bar is so romantic at night with it's amber lights, candles... this place is like another world and you dont want to leave... Shhhh... dont tell many people! It is a gem!
Citysearch Editorial Review – When a hotel doesn't offer online booking or even valet service, you know you're in for an unconventional experience--and the historic Figueroa certainly provides just that. Located just across the street from L.A. Live, this former YWCA treats its Moroccan theme seriously, beginning with the ornately decorated lobby, continuing with the plush, enchantingly appointed Moroccan suites, and ending with its own Rick's Place. Although guests expecting the Hilton treatment will soon realize that that most sacred hotel experience--room service--doesn't ring a bell here, all in all, this place is a delightful alternative to the usual downtown hotels and offers an lovely setting for a poolside cocktail.
good for cocktails – great place to stay and have a cocktail with the locals, conveniently located next to la live.
didn't stay at the hotel, but after being at the bar, i wanted to! – we dropped by the bar at the hotel on the recommendation of a friend and despite the very empty saturday night street, were pleasantly surprised at what we found inside.
getting to the bar required walking through the ornate and exotic hotel lobby. entrance, indeed!
the bar is reminiscent of a resort bar with tables nestled into little pockets near the shrubbery around a coffin shaped, color-changing pool. very romantic or perfect place to bring fascinating guests who you'd actually like to speak with all night.
not a scene-y place by any means. a fresh breath of air.
they closed up a little early, which in l.a. means you're back on the hunt before the clock strikes two. luckily, it's right across the street from the 24 hour eatery, the pantry.
Stay at the Holiday Inn (across the street) instead..... – I recently attended a worldwide convention and stayed at the Hotel Figueroa. The hotel was chosen by a member of our group. When I read the reviews of the hotel I was skeptical but kept an open mind. We arrived in our room late at night. The hotel appeared dark and mysterious. I was surprised by the darkness of the room. It was very difficult to see while unpacking our suitcases, even after taking the lamp shades off every lamp in the room.
The next morning we arose (at 6 am) to the sounds of construction. This was not the hotel's fault but it occurred for the 6 mornings we were there. The hotel room had very limited amenities (no coffee maker, no hair dryer, only 12 channels on the TV, no radio). Air conditioning was supplied by a window unit, which was also very loud and needed to be on because of the hot weather. The maid service came after 3 pm every day. By then, we were back in our room and wanted to relax before the evening festivities. The hotel room was not very clean and we fixed the toilet on several occasions. The bath tub clogged every time we had a shower (filled up while we were taking a shower). There is a beautiful pool and bar located at the rear of the hotel. However, I was very surprised that even though the hotel was filled to capacity, there was no one manning the bar at the pool for the entire time we were in the hotel.
Two couples in our party spoke to us about their experience. One waited 3 days for someone to fix their shower. The other couple did not get the double bed they booked. Instead they were given 2 single beds.
I kept an open mind during my stay and enjoyed my time in LA, in spite of the inadequate accommodations. I am happy that my children did not accompany us on this trip. I can not recommend this hotel.
Wonderful place for adults with class – Notice the negative reviews here are all from people who want some kind of "scene" or have some sort of unrealistic expectations. This is not a scenester, hipster, DJ bar/hotel for party people trying to showoff and score. This place is for people who aren't loud, obnoxious drunks. The patrons are often more mature people who just want to have conversation in an unparalleled setting without having to yell over music and/or frat kids. My girlfriend and I have been going here for years and enjoying the classiness of it all and have consistantly been treated with kindness and respect. Because we are kind and respectful customers. We appreciate that the owner, staff, and security has no tolerance for inappropriate behavior and it's that committment to style and atmosphere that keeps us coming back. My girlfriend and I enjoyed it so much that there was no question we should have our wedding there. Though our event was very small, the staff still treated us as if we were paying a fortune to be there. They were attentive, professional, and made every effort to make our wedding a memorable experience for us and our guests.
To the people who call this place "boring" or "dull," just keep in mind that not every place is designed to cater to YOUR needs. LA is full of party places, so why not go there instead of trying to turn this place into a party? I certainly don't go to a dance club and complain about the noise so why come to the Figueroa and complain about the quiet?
The Figueroa is literally an oasis in the middle of the city. I can't say enough about the beauty of the hotel and the patio. We stayed in a suite for our wedding and it was absolutely breathtaking. If you want a break from the bar scene and just want to enjoy a space and your company, this is it.
Great Private Party Venue – I threw my husband's 40th birthday party at Hotel Fig and it exceeded all my expectations. The manager Uno and his staff are pros and very experienced in handling big parties. Uno accommodated all my requests which included belly dancers, cigar rollers, and a dj. And he was very patient since I was so indecisive at times. Having dealt with a lot of party venues, doing business with Hotel Fig had a very informal way about it...didn't sign a contract until two weeks before, for instance, and they didn't insist on deposits...threw me off at first because I'm used to more formalities and signed documents but it was actually really refreshing and Uno was so dependable and returned all my emails and calls.
We had a blast. All our guests were very impressed with the food, drinks, service and decor. We had a reception at the Nomad Lounge upstairs before being escorted to the Rabat Room and the vibe in there was so cool -- low lighting, rich colors, lots of texture. The hotel had 2 major parties inside and 3 smaller parties by the pool and there were no problems with staffing and parking. They also provided security. I've organized a lot of parties at all types of venues and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel especially for those looking for a unique and not so "banquetty-hotelly" venue. I can't wait to throw another one...next time maybe poolside.
No Problems – The Hotel Figueroa is not your average hotel, but very unique in its own right. The lobby area was very exotic with huge chairs and small coffee tables for casual conversation. We had a quick dinner that was not too impressive because of the extremely limited items on the menu. We were expecting a more exotic menu of Moroccan food since that is the theme of the hotel. The bar and pool area was fantastic! Very swanky, very hip, great bartenders and the highlight of our stay!
We were in number 416. It was very small with a king bed. No alarm clock or coffee maker, but lots of charm! Bed was comfortable and the place was very clean. Bathroom was extremely small and had no vent or fan for the shower.
The staff was very professional and helpful. Short walk to Staples Center and the new Nokia theater. If you are looking for a place to stay downtown and you want ambiance, than this is the place for you, but if you are looking for someplace more high end, than this is NOT the place for you.
I had read reviews of this hotel and was a bit worried, but when we parked in their parking lot and came through the pool/bar area, I knew that we were going to have a great time. I don't understand what all these people previously were griping about.
I Have Never been treated so Poorly in My Life, Especially on My Birthday! – TERRIBLE SERVICE, very, very rude staff, but it seemed the manager/owner would relay the messages to his staff without speaking to us directly. We had made arrangements to host a birthday party with roughly 90 people..First, we were informed by the parking attentandt, "Israel." that we'd have to pay, even though we were bringing lots of bar patrons, cafe patrons, aka, LOTS OF BIZ!...fine, we moved our car...then they confront our friends, that they can't bring in a Birthday Cake!! yes, a birthday cake..but that we could bring in cupcakes..I kid you not, there was a stand off in the hotel lobby, not allowing us to bring in a birthday cake!!...I have never been treated with such disrespect in my entire life.....We offered to rent a banquet room to eat our cake and the manager who wouldn't speak to us, told his 4 person staff our money wasn't good and we could go somewhere else after inviting nearly 100 people to his understaffed, horrible owner, horrible hotel...we eventually had to arrange a secret Birthday Cake celebration in the cafe!!! SO there owner...We ate our Birthday Cake in your hotel u looser!! .........rumor is that the owner of Standard, Chateau Marmont is buying the hotel anywayz...then maybe things will liven up, and become less fascist!!

The Northwood Tornado: 5 Years LaterNorthwood, ND (WDAY TV) - It was on this night 5 years ago that a tornado ripped through the town of Northwood, North Dakota.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ, WDAY
Northwood, ND (WDAY TV) - It was on this night 5 years ago that a tornado ripped through the town of Northwood, North Dakota.
It's business as usual for Joan Guenthner who, with her husband, owns Northwood's only grocery store. They've come a long ways in five years' time, since they experienced the fury of an E-F4 tornado.
Joan Guenthner – Grocery Store Owner: "Tore the roof off, and then it started raining. So everything in the store got wet. "
On August 26th, 2007 a tornado tore a path through this town of 300 people, killing one person and leaving piles of debris that just minutes before were homes and people's livelihoods.
Bob Wallace – CEO of Agvise Labs: "We did lose our business."
Bob Wallace is the CEO of Agvise Labs. It's one of the town largest employers. The building was destroyed, but today, the rebuilt structure is just one symbol of this town's perseverance.
Bob Wallace: "We had about 40 families whose livelihood depended on it, and you just can't walk away from those people. "
Scott Ostlie - City Councilman: "People are resilient and they take pride in their communities and they take pride in their property and their businesses."
City Councilman Scott Ostlie says there's one silver lining of the disaster. Northwood's old school was replaced with new $14 million modern structure.
Scott Ostlie: "Bringing new families and community members in because of that."
Joan Guenthner: "People are moving back the population is growing some. "
Today, new downtown buildings, renovated houses and many missing trees are remaining hints of what this town went through.
Scott Ostlie: "The community doesn't dwell or think about it. We are just moving forward and continuing to grow."
That's the attitude Joan Guenthner had when they rebuilt their business.
Joan Guenthner : "This town needs a grocery store. And they appreciate that we have one."
Councilman Ostlie says Northwood would not look as good today if it were not for the many volunteers from up and down the valley that helped after the tornado.

Los Angeles: Gets a decent third or fourth line player who can play any position up front and is still young enough (at 26) to still have some upside. More importantly, the Kings got two great picks for a player who was really too old to be a part of any rebuilding plan.
Fantasy Players Impacted: This obviously helps Conroy, but if you are a Conroy owner - take advantage of the hype and trade him while you can. Daymond Langkow is entrenched in that No.1 spot, and Matt Lombardi has proven capable of No.2. Conroy is an insurance policy in case there is an injury up front, nothing more. His production will improve, but not by a lot.
Jamie Lundmark will get some ice, but I doubt he will pan out fantasy-wise. Really what this says to me is that Patrick O'Sullivan has himself a roster spot. They may move him back to center on the third line. There is a risk that Lombardi will lose a bit of power-play time at first, it all depends on the coach. If Playfair loves his vets, then Conroy will steal some PP time. If he loves his youngsters and wants to help shape their careers, then it will not have an impact on Lombardi. He is still too new for me to get a real good read on him (plus, since they are out west, I have only seen them play a handful of times this year).

April 7, 2011
It's time to elevate the noise meter at the rink, raise the roof, and pack the arena so full that fans are hanging from the rafters. The NHL post-season is nearly upon us! And, if you're an NHL fan, you know that there is still a lot to be sorted out.
In other major American sports, the championship contenders are a little easier to predict. In baseball, for instance, you always expect the Red Sox and Yankees to be in the picture. In the NFL, the Patriots, Colts, and Steelers are likely to make a push come Playoff time. And in the NBA, it's a surprise when the Lakers and Celtics aren't listed as a possible Finals match-up.
Of course, the NHL has a few teams that consistently stand out. But, as the Montreal Canadians showed us in the 2010 Playoffs against the Presidents Trophy-winning Washington Capitals, seeds mean almost zilch! Nada. Nothing!
Every team has a good chance at advancing when the playoffs finally do arrive, so coaches will expect their teams to be mentally prepared and will look for any sense of momentum to carry them into the first round. Post-season experience is a huge asset, and good defense (led by strong goal-tending) is a must.
One additional factor that should not be overlooked, however, is the Wild Card Player. If a team is to go deep into the post-season, they will need a star performance from a player that wasn't necessarily expected to perform like a star. Look at Dustin Byfuglien's turn for the Blackhawks last year—the big-bodied, hard hitting utility player had no problem stepping up in the 2010 Playoffs against great defensemen like Chris Pronger. Or how about Jean-Sebastain Giguere's play in the 2003 Playoffs for Anaheim? Yes, he had a pretty good regular season, but no one expected the lights-out performance he brought to the post-season. Five shutouts? While they didn't win the Cup, Giguere led the Ducks right to the brink.
So who will the Wild Card Players be this year? Here are our predictions:
Ryan Kesler, Vancouver Canucks
Kesler uses his speed and hockey IQ to make sure that he is always in a position to help his team. And he's having another career year. Led by the Sedin brothers and Luongo in net, the Canucks (with the best record in the NHL) are the favorite of most to win the Cup. With most opposing teams very aware of what the Sedins are capable of, however, less attention will be given to Kesler, which could prove to be a very costly oversight.
Joe Pavelski, San Jose Sharks
Old Joe, meet New Joe. Joe Thornton is having one of the least productive seasons of his career, so someone needs to pick it up. Joe Pavelski can be that guy. Prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics, many hockey fans had no idea who Pavelski was. Pavelski, however, had a terrific post-season last year and seems poised to be just as great this year. The Sharks are heading into the Playoffs as arguably the hottest team in the NHL, and they will need a player like Pavelski to keep them going strong.
The "Energy Line," Boston Bruins
"Energy Line," or the fourth line of the Boston Bruins, isn't just one player, but a few. For the entire season the Bruins' fourth line has been able to create momentum for, or maintain the momentum of, the other three lines. With Shawn Thornton, Gregory Campbell, and Daniel Paille, the Energy Line has even contributed on the point sheet. Although sometimes out-skilled, this line more than makes up for it with heart and a fighting will.

Patrons enjoy dinner and a show put on by Faulkner students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as community members. The new theater will also allow general admission for stadium seating to the show only.

The course will start with an overview of the functions and regulation of banks, exchanges, over-the-counter markets, broker-dealers, institutional investors, and mutual and hedge funds. We will study in particular the recent crisis, including the rise and fall of securitization, failures in investment banks and the government-sponsored enterprises, credit derivatives, money market funds and hedge funds. We will study the division of regulatory responsibilities after Gramm-Leach-Bliley repealed Glass-Steagall and how these responsibilities correspond, or do not correspond, with the various financial "functions" that GLB intended to regulate. We will examine a range of actual and proposed regulatory responses to the crisis, including the many actions of the banking, securities and futures regulators and the legislative proposals and actions of Congress and the Treasury.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Ok, this one is going to chap a lot of people, but if we can have a civil discussuion and just present the facts we can get through it. I really want to know, so don't think I'm just being an idiot, although I will be playing the antagonist in this disccission.
Here it is: Why is it that so many people recommend to new players that they use Putters and Mids to learn with? We have all heard some form of the statement, "Go learn to throw your putter 300 feet and then you'll understand how to throw", or some varieant on this.
I call BULLSH*T!
I think what you'll learn is how to throw your putter 300 feet.
I think a more well rounded approach to the game, learning to throw all discs and understanding the numbers and controlling your plastic purchases is a better way to go. Learning the different grips, reach back, runup, keeping things flat and straight is a better approach.
Views: 1466
Putters are a Great Learning Tool for Disc Golf. So are Stable Mid-Range Disc's that you can throw hard.
Practice at some Open field in your area with Drivers ( ALL KINDS ) and see the flight path of each. Throw them with the wind , cross wind and against the wind. You will know how each responds to the amount of snap you put on it and the amount of Angle of release you use.
Break out the cry towels....................
Wow, this thread is full of butthurt people who just don't want to believe that there are alternative ways of thinking. Also, it seems that nobody has ever thrown an understable driver like a Westside King or a Skyquest Medusa. Maybe nobody here actually plays disc golf.
Definitely there is some narrow mindedness going on here and a lot of repeating stuff with absolutely no proof. What happened to the scientific method where propositions get tested? Maybe disc golfers just believe things because they get repeated and not because there is any proof of any kind.
I know that I will be using and enjoying my drivers. That is because I took the time to learn how to throw them and I know what they do. Why do people hate drivers so much anyway? If you learn how to throw them you can make some incredible shots. That is if you aren't wasting too much time with the mids and putters.
It may be that some people are intimidated by, or they just can't throw a driver. I know guys that tell new players to throw mids because they don't want the new guy to get better than them for a while. I too will be out enjoying my warpseed drivers, hitting lines than no way in hell you can consitantly.
+1 to the understable drivers bit. My best distance comes from a set of Westside Kings that I flip pretty darn hard. Guess what, if I overtorque or turn my wrist over, it's going deep in the woods! Understable drivers teach good form.
I'm with you Andrew, I learned by using understable drivers, just not quite so fast. Everyone is different and there are tons of ways to learn. Its just this automatic dogma that putters and mids are the ONLY way to go.
the problem is that the individuals who are trying to "expand" our way of thinking are at least as narrow minded
it's like people who try to improve our government by using the same policies and processes. it's like the kettle calling the pot black
I remember when i started i got myself a TB and a Birdie putter cuz tyhats what i could aford for a sport i was unsure of.
after a few rounds i picked up a gator mid as sugested by the guy at the disc shop. I found that if i wanted to keep up with the others that i was plaing with that i had to throw my driver cuz it went further if i threw my mid it would not go as far. So yes my form sucked but i found that if i wanted to get the disc out further i needed a faster driver, so i got one. fro a long time i was reluctant to use my mid, it justwas too much to grasp at first. After a wile i picked up a buzzz and i could bomb that sucker! it must have been all that practice form throwing drvers...
P.S. i just got beat in a match by 2 guys that only tomohawked thier innova groves the whole round they even putted with them...
:0 Tomahawking a Groove for a Whole round and putting with them? That is getting to know your disc!!
For my first couple years of tourney play I always lost to a guy who used an Avenger and a Viper. All thumbers, then putts with whichever disc he approached with. Drove me nuts, I'd have to weave through the trees, he just cranked up a big thumber right over the top and dropped onto the pin.
OK, enough of picking sides. Truth is both sides are right! My daughters boyfriend has picked up disc golf and digs it. Now since he's athletic as heck. I gave him a Vision, Stiker, Pain, Buzzz, and a Aviar. He's tossing very well for a noob. Now when I took my daughter out I gave her a Leopard, Buzzz, and an Aviar. In her case she ended up playing with the Buzzz 90% of the time, because that's what worked best for her. As for her boyfriend...NO MORE lessons for him! He's already tossing that Vison pretty darn good.
So instead of blanket statement. Lets be open minded to the many ways there are to reach a goal and you don't have to be a bunch of babies about it too. Get over yourselves!
Oh, and by the way Dookie is right..lol!!!

I have a four year old daughter whom is potty trained during the day but still needs to wear a diaper at bedtime. She has a routine for bedtime (brush teeth, small glass of water, use the potty, and then bed at nine o clock) but she still wets her diaper at night. I have tried not giving her a drink for the last hour before bedtime with no luck. I've also tried to let her wear underwear to bed a few times but she woke up because she was wet. Is there anything that I can do to help her stay dry at night or should I just wait it out and see if she'll outgrow this habit?
Try waking up her around the time she wets her undies. This way, you can train her bladder by taking her to the potty at that time. Her bladder is not as big as an adults, so she may need to empty it during the night. If you wake her, this will allow her to use the potty midway through the night. Hope this helps!
That is exactly what I did for my son. I put him to bed at 8 pm, he was 2 1/2. He would wake up crying because he would pee the bed at night. I began to wake him up around 11 or 12 at night (this is where being a night owl helps). I would walk him to the potty and let him go, and I did this for about 1-2 weeks. I tested him and let him sleep on his own and wake himself and he did. He had another 1 or 2 accidents when he was really tired but that is it and he is now 7. You might need to wake your daughter up 2 times a night, but the one worked for me. Takes a few hours for what we drink to process some times. :) Good luck.

Two things I picked up tonight that have to do with the UU.
First, there's this, from Spider-Man: Season One:
And, yes, the Season One books are canon, meaning Morales is officially part of 616.
Secondly, I came across this conversation on SomethingAwful:
E the Shaggy: Nick Spencer has a strange, strange background.
Skeematic:I thought that his issues of Secret Avengers were really soap boxy. I feel duped by Spencer. Morning Glories is really good (although the last few issues have been a bit iffy), but everything that I've read from the big 2 have been snoozers. Ultimate X-men is horrible, and he admitted to only writing it for the money, and you can tell.
d00gZ: Wait, did he actually say that about UXM? I'd love a link.
Skeematic: You'll probably hate me for this because its not actually in print anywhere, just word of mouth. A friend of mine was at the Calgary Expo in April and got a commission from Riley Rossmo (working with Spencer on Bedlam) and they were talking for a while and Rossmo told my friend that Spencer told him that.
So yeah, I guess its kind of a rumor instead of straight out admittance, but it wouldnt suprise me since his mainstream stuff is pretty bad.
Lofidelity Media:This is kind of hilarious since Kirkman basically killed the original Ultimate X-Men for the same reasons.
He used Marvel's money to pay his bills while he pushed all of his talent into Invincible and Walking Dead.
Which, shit, if you're in a place to do that, more power to you.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I chose this card planning to change the background color to purple. However, after a few iterations, I ended up sticking with the pink. I'm so glad I did! My friend is having a retro-inspired wedding, and this invitation fit the bill perfectly. The paper and printing were top quality, and I've done some design and printing myself so I'm definitely a tough customer. I was so happy to send these out, and the bride was ecstatic. I couldn't believe how excited she was to receive the invitation to her own bachelorette party!"
"Everyone loved them, the design is so girly yet chic, and the options for font, round edges and shimmer are great. Customer service and communication was awesome and will not hesitate to do all my orders for this type of thing again. thanks for making it so easy!"
"I used this as a Bachelor/ette wknd invite. It turned out beautiful!!! Very classy looking!!!! I also added a picture to the back of the invite. LOVE THIS you will not be disappointed."
"Exactly what I wanted...they matched a customer color with a previous order...perfect! And the envelopes fit this time :) Excellent quality and design!"
"These cards are amazing! They came out beautifully! I ordered them in purple and I just can't express how beautiful they were! Very impressed with quality, color, design the works. They were a huge hit."

Using the Voki is probably "old hat" with most of you, but I wanted to share that when I create a Voki to introduce the topics in my economics classes, the students think it's really neat. I find this interesting since the students sitting in my classroom know most all the technology tricks available.
I am also going to try to use backchanneling this semester with those who bring laptops to class. Many of my colleagues are forbidding laptops in class as Harvard has done. My thought is that if I can engage them throughout my class session to actually use their laptops as part of our instruction, we will all benefit. Of course, I have found an occasional student sitting in the back watching a movie, but I don't throw the baby out with the bath water . My findings usually reveal that the "movie watcher" generally doesn't pass the course anyway. That's what we call Unintended Consequences on his part.
I haven't used backchanneling, but can't it be done on smart phones as well as laptops? I know I saw a technology presenter hold up his phone and tell us he was backchanneling on it during the presentation. That would probably offer the opportunity to a wider audience, and eliminate any 'laptop in class' stigma!
And I totally agree that if you are watching a movie in class you get what you deserved....lol
I've used back channeling with adults, but received some back lash when introducing it to teachers in a rural school district. If you are in K-12, be careful!
I recommend & have used Wiffiti. Here's a good web site with explanations for classroom use: http://web20edu.com/2010/03/20/five-ways-to-teach-with-wiffiti-in-the-classroom/
Kids love doing presentations with Voki, especially the shy ones.
I teach Computer Literacy to K - 6 grades. I taught the students how to create a Voki. They loved creating their own avatar. I used the voki in my class website to add some pizzazz to it. In my website I have the voki tell each grade level what they will be learning this comming school year. I will use this to demonstrate to the students how they can use their own voki to present a project to their class. I think this will be alot of fun for the students and I am hoping that this will make that reluctant student to finally step up to the bat.
Here is a link from Twitter this morning about backchanneling and Hotseat on college campuses. Thought you might find it interesting--Sharron B.
Thanks for that link. I checked it out and think I think I will forge ahead with the backchanneling especially in my larger classes like the UTD professor did. UTD is notorious for putting 80 + in their upper level classes so I'm sure finding a way to get discussions going are always being tried. You noted that she does have a TA to help monitor, but because my class-size for my econ classes are held to no more than 35 it is manageable for me.
Keep the cards and letters coming. Appreciate it.
We love Today's Chat for backchanneling. No sign up required. Archiving possible. Set you your room, post the URL and go!
Hi Karen,
Just wondering how the backchanneling worked for your econ class? Did students use smart phones to backchannel?
Worked great! Provided some very interesting interactions and discussions. I'm using it again this Thursday in review for the final exam. Yes, they use smart phones, androids, laptops, Ipads and whatever mobile device they have in their hands.
Plan on wrapping it up with a Polleverywhere multiple-choice question about the course.

Holidays are huge.
That's no secret to e-retailers. We at Internet Retailer also know the holiday season can make or break a retailer's annual sales. As such (and as usual), we are planning extensive coverage of the tactics retailers are employing, and also stories with tips to help retailers make the most out of those few short and crucial months.
But I also know the time is now—(actually, the time probably began a few months ago) that retailers are drafting their game plans to tackle the season. So I'm curious—what are you doing to prepare? And what have you done in the past that has worked (and that has not worked).
Are you focusing on site performance this year, striving to ensure not one customer is lost because he got sick of waiting for a page to load? Are you ramping up social media spend, trying new ways to turn happy customers into brand advocates? Are you employing new search ad spending tactics? Running leaner on inventory or stocking up on hot items to ensure you have enough to go around? And, for bricks-and-mortar shops, how is your holiday preparation plan different for e-commerce as opposed to stores?
I'm sure there are some interesting and less obvious nuggets of wisdom you can share.
Case in point: Experian Hitwise recently reported that gift card promotions in holiday e-mail marketing messages more than tripled conversion rates for multichannel retailers last year. Who knew shoppers were so wild for gift cards?
The same report also found e-mails containing free shipping offers with no minimum spending requirement had 70% higher conversion rates, triple the revenue per e-mail and more than double the average order value compared to free shipping offers with minimum spending requirements. I wonder if retailers knew there was that big a difference between the two versions of free shipping.
I'm certain our readers have uncovered other hidden gems. So please share: How are you greeting the Holidays? And what have you done in years past that helped make your holiday sales more jolly and less like a lump of coal?

These ancient woodlands are at their best in fall, but a beautiful spot at any time of year. To find St. Mary's Vale, take Chapel Road north. Turn left after the farm at the end of the canopy of trees, then keep left at the small junction and you'll arrive at the car park. Nearby, the Hershey's Kiss–shape Sugar Loaf Mountain forms the southern tip of the Black Mountains. The 2,000-foot ascent (with a handy parking lot halfway up) is easily manageable and treats you to sensational views.

Oklahoma City's US Fleet Tracking will provide GPS support for the 2010 Super Bowl and Pro Bowl, 2010 Winter Olympics, and 2010 World Equestrian Games. US Fleet's real-time GPS tracking technology ensures that personnel and critical equipment are always located.
US Fleet's technology allows tracking to eight inches of a target's location at intervals of five to 10 seconds, making it a leader in the industry. The systems will be used to track AFC and NFC team buses at Sunday's Super Bowl, horses in this summer's Equestrian World Games, and Winter Olympians in this month's Vancouver Olympics.
US Fleet Tracking is in its fifth year of existence, but has grown rapidly. The 20-employee company has experienced 400 percent annual growth and is providing assistance for its fourth consecutive Super Bowl.

Family Support Division
Food Stamp Program / Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 renamed the federal program the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) effective October 1, 2008. SNAP is designed to promote the general welfare and safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's population by raising the levels of nutrition among low-income households. The program is called the Food Stamp Program in Missouri.
How Are Food Stamps Used?
Each participating household receives an allotment of food benefits based on the USDA's "Thrifty Food Plan". This allotment is adjusted annually according to the U. S. Department of Labor's analysis of the cost of food. Missouri Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) is the method by which households receive and use Food Stamp benefits.
Households may use their Missouri EBT card in any grocery store or retail location anywhere in the United States that has been authorized by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service and displays the Quest® sign. The benefits may be used to purchase any food or food products prepared for human consumption except alcoholic beverages and tobacco, hot foods, or foods prepared for immediate consumption. Benefits may also be used to buy seeds and plants for use in gardens to produce food for the personal consumption of the household. Under certain conditions, members of the eligible households who are 60 years of age or older may use the benefits to pay for home delivered meals and other meals prepared for elderly persons.
The EBT cardholder may check account balances and history of EBT transactions, and may view frequently asked cardholder questions on the web site at: www.ebtEdge.com
Do I Qualify For Food Stamp Benefits?
To see if you might qualify for Food Stamps, a pre-screening tool for the Food Stamp Program is available.
Anyone may apply for Food Stamps. To apply, complete the Food Stamp application form and return it to any Family Support Division (FSD) office. Instructions for completing this form are also available.

You can return the application in person, by mail or by fax. View address information or fax numbers for FSD offices
An interview must be completed to determine your eligibility for Food Stamp benefits. The interview can be by phone or in-person.
How do I apply for replacement of Food Stamp benefits used to purchase food which has been destroyed?
If you have lost food purchased with Food Stamp benefits due to the weather, ice storm, fire, flood, tornado, or other household misfortune outside your control, contact your local county office to complete a request for replacement. Or, you may complete the Statement of Loss/Replacement Request form and return the form in person, by mail or by fax. View address information or fax numbers for FSD offices
